One of the most curious statistical
records recently compiled is that Of DR..
6alzmann. Of Essling. in Wurtemberg.
He found. on going over the ancient
records OF Essling. that In the sixteenth
century the average duration of life
among the physicians was 86.5 years; In
the ssventeepth. 45.8; in the eighteenth
l5.A while ut the present time the ply
sicians Of Wurtsmberg reach the very
favorable average OF 56.7 years II
would appear that this very great In
crsass in longevity was duo to the dis
appearance Of tho pest and the great
dtminution in tho number of typbul
epidemics. The black death or black
pest OF the fourteenth century, decimar
led tho practitioners OF that epoch.

to the express, railroad and employees

night operator, and two men were
in the depot. Muse had occasion
to 60 out about $50 and came run

1t is quite true that the question, how
snail | dress-what shall ! wear? is
sometimes n perploxing one, and loss of
temper and trial of patience very often
precedes the final decision, if, indeed,
what may be called decision IS reach
ed at all. The number of women who
can as deliberately choose q dress as
they would choose a dish for dinner is
not large says the New York Evening
Post, and hundreds of women who can
successfully administer the affairs of u
large household are at their wits end
when the question Of dress can no
longer be postponed or evaded. 1t is
not strange that its settlement and So
luton are hedged with difficulties and
trials. If dress were regarded as
mere covering, Il protection from the
yicissitudes OF the weather, or a simple
veil cast between the wearer and the
outside world, the trouble would be
light one and the question easily set
tied. But where fashions and fabrics
change with the seasons, or Oftener;
where modes of dress and dress mate
rial become matters of supreme impor-
lance, or are so regarded, it must be
confessed that the case of these bewil-
dered women IS hard one, provoking
the sympathy of those of the sisterhOOd
whose natural good taste or intuitiOns
save them from such a sea OF trouble.
These women live and move in society,
and they Enthusiastically think they must
yield conformity to its laws and meth
DDS, 20 its Whims and caprices, even If
they verge at times on the repulsiye, as
they sometimes do on the absurd and
ridiculous. No wonder that in these
moments of doubt and distraction they
Of a.
ness, "or the antipodes, where the fash
ions never change, distracting displays
OF dress goods are never seen, and mill
liners, with their endless devices and
despOtisms, are unknown. A tempo
rarv outing in the woods might prove
pleasant experience, and q residence
in far eastern climes might enlarge
their knowledge of native simplicity,
and at the same time of the cr8mped,
uneventful. and subservieDt lives of
their Oriental sisters; but if they ever
found heart to sing, the burden of their
song would ever be Home Again, :"
with but scanty variations. The con-
tlict between the inner and the outer
self is but a borrowed and needless life
burden. 1t is the right and duty Of ey-
erv woman to prize at its true value
every natural gift, whether it be of
mind or person, and to display 1t with
mo5csty and reserve, in as attractive a
setting as her own good taste and
Judgment can devise. Let her study
the appropriate and becoming; what is
best for her, what ittest COMFORTS and
is in keeping with her form, features
and complexion; and all this she can do
without rudely setting herself in oppo-
sition to prevailing styles or fashions

to their exactions on the other.

Indians Starving.


Miles City, Mont, March ID
Great desutuuon exists among the
Cheyennes on Rosebud aud Tongue
rivers, Agent Upshaw last fall
caused the Indian beef Cattle to be
taken over to Mallocks Fork, on
the Crow reservation, distant about
three miles from the Cheyenne
4 gency' Nearly all the cattle drift
Ell back to their old range in Wy
oming. This action has resulted
most disas trously to the Cheyenn es,
as they have had no beet rations for
six weeks. In the early part of
Decem Der, 1886, it is stated, the
agent efused to receive any more
-four for the Indians until needed
for immediate consump tion. After
the great spowstorm of Jan. 1, no
-four could be hauled sixty-five miles
to the Agency. At that date the
Cheyennes received their last rations
OF -four, and have had no beef.
During the last fifteen DAYS the In
dams have been ating their dead
ponies and what little meet thew
could get from attic that have died
from starvation near their camps.
Ten Indian babies have died because
their mothers cou! d not furnish milk
by reason Of the want OF food.
